Banned from Sleeping Outside: How Grants Pass Is Handling Homelessess | Homeless in America

What tragedy is more bitter than being arrested for simply sleeping? It may sound absurd, but it is the harsh reality that the homeless in Grants Pass, Oregon, face every single day. With no home to return to, they set up temporary tents in parks, sleep in old cars, or on public benches – and in return, they receive fines, eviction orders, and are even put in handcuffs.
The irony is this: while there is a severe shortage of shelter space, the city still chooses to criminalize the very existence of its poorest people.
This story doesn't stop in one small town. It is now making its way to the Supreme Court of the United States – where America must answer the question: Are we protecting social order, or are we punishing poverty with the force of law?
